Hey guys how is it going today.
Recently I wiped my drives and did a fresh install of windows 10. I got an error the first time trying to do it, so I had to go in CMD Prompt and clean Disc 0 and afterwards it worked.
Upon setting up Win10 Pro and downloading the drivers, today say if i want to just search something in the search bar it has lag delay. Also ive downloaded just 1 game this morning and even that loading is just laggy. Wasnt this bad before I wiped everything and started over.
Alienware M17x R3
GeForce GTX 560M + intel HD graphics 3000
DDr3 16gb dual (2x8gb)
Ill upload a few CPU-Z pics.
Anyway I do know its a pretty old model now almost 7. But is it possible my old windows never really got fully wiped or something? In CMD I did these commands;
diskpart, list disk, select disk 0, clean, exit. Did this to wipe my HD. Shouldnt there be two Disk's if i have 2 250GB samsungs? It showed my Disc 0 500gb, Disk 1 said 14GB but that was my Win 10n Pro USB installer i think?
When installing new windows and choosing location it said 465 unallocated space availiable, which is normal for 500gb..so im not sure. If it is too old to run a game, usually it lags like hell and closes. But its lagging just trying to search so it should be more responsive than this.
Finally, would it be worth investing ~$200 into this with a new HDD and RAM? I only use this laptop when i go on vacation and it was never a main computer. I dont play that much crazy FPS games...the most i will every run on this is World of Warcraft or Players Unknown Battlegrounds.
Thanks everyone!!!
P.s. I at first published this in the wrong section, (Laptop General Discussion) if anyone could go there and remove that, sorry still a bit new here.
